    Agriculture influences and shapes the world’s ecosystems, but not always in a positive way. More than 2.5 billion people are globally involved as stewards of land and water ecosystems that constitute the natural resource base for feeding the current and future world population. Yet, conventional agronomic interventions based on ‘hard’ agricultural engineering compromise various eco-services that are required for sustainable agricultural development.

    The climate-smart agriculture (CSA) concept reflects
    an ambition to improve the integration of agriculture
    development and climate responsiveness. It aims to achieve
    food security and broader development goals under a
    changing climate and increasing food demand. CSA initiatives
    sustainably increase productivity, enhance resilience, and
    reduce/remove greenhouse gases (GHGs), and require
    planning to address tradeoffs and synergies between these
    three pillars: productivity, adaptation, and mitigation [1].

How then do we move towards morepeople-centred, gender-aware climate change policies and processes? How do we respond to the different needs and concerns of women and men, and also challenge the gender inequalities that mean women are more likely to lose out than men in the face of climate change? This In Brief sets out why it is vital to address the gender dimensions of climate change.

    A large number of governance interventions are being developed in order to reduce deforestation and enhance the sustainability of commodity

    supply chains across the tropics. The extent to which individual agricultural commodity supply chain interventions can achieve scale, and

    environmental or social objectives, depends in part on the ways in which those interventions interact with other interventions. We use a casestudy

    of the new Sustainable Agriculture Network (SAN) cattle certification program in Brazil to explore the different ways in which governance
